Could the original Bennifer be headed toward a reconciliation?
Days after Ben Affleck and wife of 10 years Jennifer Garner announced their split, reports surfaced claiming that the 42-year-old Oscar winner has allegedly been in contact with his ex Jennifer Lopez.
"Everyone is talking about J.Lo and Ben and saying it's inevitable they will get together again at some point," an insider told the UK's Sun.
"They were pretty flirty at the Oscars and have stayed in touch over email. Jennifer Garner never liked it."

Despite the claims, sources tell the Daily News Lopez and Affleck "haven't spoken."
The former Hollywood it couple made headlines at this year's Academy Awards when they were reportedly spotted chatting during a commercial break in the broadcast.
Affleck approached his ex-fiancée and "whispered something" in her ear before she "playfully" swatted his arm, the AP reported at the time.
While the two seemed to be on friendly terms then, the songstress described her 2003 break up with Affleck as her "first real heartbreak" in her 2014 memoir "True Love."
Fans shouldn't expect a "Gigli" sequel anytime soon as Lopez, 45, was just seen cozying up to her on-again, off-again boyfriend Casper Smart in New York City a mere 24 hours after Affleck and Garner's divorce announcement.

"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce," the parents of three said in a joint statement Tuesday, just one day after their wedding anniversary.
"We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time."

Ben Affleck Is ‘Devastated’ As He Plans To Continue Living With Jennifer Garner

We were all left absolutely gutted when our ultimate #RelationshipGoal, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, confirmed that they were splitting after ten years, TEN YEARS, of marriage.

But, understandably, Bennifer were probs the most upset of the lot.

We suppose we can let ‘em have that.

Still, just in case we thought that 42-year-old Ben was jumping for joy at the thought of a bachelor lifestyle, an insider had a natter with People magazine to confirm that this deffo was not the case.

They dished: “He’s devastated. Nobody intends to go down this path. They both battled, and he’s really battled to try and save the marriage, but ultimately it was the best thing for the kids and for him and Jen.

“These are two people who really tried to save their marriage and worked really hard at it. Ultimately they had grown apart and they did what was best for their kids.”

Sounds like pretty mature decisions all round, tbh.

The couple have three children together, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and three-year-old Samuel, and Ben is obviously keen to stay close by to the family home.

In fact, he is literally planning on staying within the grounds of the family home in a newly built apartment.

Wowzer.

According to new reports, the Oscar winner has been staying in hotels for the past few months but is now building a separate bachelor pad inside the perimeters of their Pacific Palisades home so that he can continue to be a hands-on father.

He and Jen have also made the amicable decision to hire a mediator to help them divide their humongous fortune, as they didn’t have a pre-nup.

The source shared: “These are things that they have consciously done because they want to make sure that this is as easy as they can make it on the kids.”

Well, we just hope that these two can continue being so pleasant towards one another throughout this no-doubt difficult split.

After all, it’s pretty refreshing to see two celebs go their separate ways without slinging mud at their ex.
